It's off and the spring assembly is still attached ... I got a set of arch rivals but the pin the gives the spring purchase, that goes through the frame next to the bosses (the three holes) — that pin is gone from both sides of the brakes. So I wanted to try and take the assembly apart, and the assembly from a donor set ... or at least the pertinent parts, if possible.
Does that make sense?

BTW- why are you asking?
